  • Опубликовано: 28 май 2024
  • This guide is tailored towards brand new players who are interested in getting into the STALKER series. It's a long video, but I feel it is important that I cover the necessary steps in detail so nobody gets left out.
    PS: I'm sorry about the audio balancing - This is not my area of expertise. I'm just a noob at audio and video editing, trying to stitch things together the best I can. Hope you guys enjoy nonetheless :)
    Software required:
    Notepad++ (with compare plugin)
    Python 3
    OpenAL (Not shown in video, but MAKE SURE you have it installed - OGSR won't launch otherwise)
    Download it from here: www.openal.org/downloads/ - Choose the windows installer version

    ATTENTION: For OGSR Engine to work, you need to have OpenAL installed. Link is in the description. You'll be getting errors otherwise
    Edit: Also for those asking if I'll be doing a guide for Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat - I am very sorry, I barely have enough time these days. RUclips is not something I do full time - I really just use it to share some stuff with the community that I think is cool (be it STALKER, Warcraft, Monster Hunter, etc) - Kind of like the OG days of RUclips where people uploaded videos just for fun before all the monetization stuff kicked in

      This fixed my issue when I freshly download game from steam and start new game it freezes and you need task manager to destroy session. Don't be afraid to go further in the remastered modification because for me it started to work only after x64 bit OGSR Engine ShoC Edition was finished.

      Another really good stand alone mod is called... Autumn Aurora 2... it does change a few things in the orginal, including adding in detectors from other games.. and you need to change default language from Russian/Ukrainian to English by renaming some folders... and makes the games combat alot more deadly for both you against the ai, and them against you.. but i had a great time with it. Made it feel alot more modern

    There seems to be a problem with the sleeping bag, I don't have it in my inventory
    READ BELOW:
    Managed to solve it. For anyone else having this problem, you gotta go to "gamedata\scripts\" and open bind_stalker.script with Notepad++, and look for a line in row 36 that says "local use_sleeping_bag = false". There you change false to true, and it's done, you've got yourself a sleeping bag without having to make a new save. I figured this out by myself some minutes ago looking through the files because the Modifier wasn't doing crap.

    This guide is absolute boss mode, honestly. I had never thought to check half the things mentioned, and it's no wonder this game would crash so often when I last had my stalker itch. Now I'm curious how I go about increasing object detail, or LoD in general. I've noticed hills, buildings, trees, the render distance is so low, and panning the camera removes so much detail from way out in the distance. Trying to figure out how to alleviate this, it's killin' me XD

    Great video dude. Afaik the only video that goes into detail of the individual ZRP settings and what they actually do, kudos for that. The only thing that didnt work for me somehow was resetting the ground textures to the more "3D" models by deleting the _bump files. It just kept the hq textues nonetheless lol, no idea how and why. But it's not a big deal for me.
    PS for anyone who's game does crash on launch: do not activate "dynamic lighting" in settings and if you did, delete the "user.tlx" file in the appdata folder of SoC and then validate your game files via steam to reset the settings file. edit: this might actually be the reason I dont see the 3D grass shadows, as they are disabled when dynamic lighting is off.

    Thanks for all your hardwork putting this all together! I'm new to the series getting prep'd for STALKER 2, and this was exactly what I was looking for! It is a bit hard to follow and a lot to take in, but the end results are well worth it! I have a question though; is there anyway for steam to track it once you switch to OGSR? I would love if it tracked playtime and sync'd my save to the cloud. I understand if it can't do this however, and would just ask how to manually backup a savefile from OGSR?

    • @ashfields9273
      @ashfields9273  9 месяцев назад +2

      You're welcome, glad this guide worked out for you. Unfortunately, there's no way for Steam to track it with OGSR. I'm not too sure about the save files, but I think it should be in the windows documents folder if I remember correctly.
      Welcome to the STALKER community :)

    • @FAiLSEEDtv
      @FAiLSEEDtv 9 месяцев назад

      @@ashfields9273 Thank you! I figured out the savefile, they're in _appdata_ in the base game folder. Super easy to backup.
      I have 2 questions if you don't mind (sorry not a lot of active people in this community)
      1. Can you somehow get the CC/subtitle mod working with this setup? There is a vanilla ver on moddb, but it has a comment to a link to a file that was remade for ZRP. When I add the ZRP one it crashes on options menu open or if it runs an AI script I think. I'm hard of hearing and having CC would be the last thing I need to make this overhaul 100% perfect for me. I really hope it's possible.
      2. The tunnel with electro to get past train at the start of the game. I'm not sure if it's a mod or what, but I can't get through it without dying. I wait and follow it along, but lots of times it just fires off and I'm not even touching anything. I've read other guides about throwing bolts, but they come back instantly and the explosions are huge, so I've found no way to get through that tunnel without dying or taking major damage. I wasn't sure what I was missing or if a mod had changed the behavior of the tunnel or what.
      Thanks again for all the work you put into this, I'm really enjoying the game so far, and I can't believe it's from 2007 with this remaster!

      1. I've heard of that mod before, but I can't seem to find it. Even if I did, unfortunately I have very little time on my hands these days to figure out how to mod it in
      2. Pretty sure that's not a bug. I think you might get hit once or twice. I usually savescum my way through that area and move very slowly. The bolts are meant to map out a safe path through that anomaly field. If you throw a bolt and it explodes, don't go there. Keep spamming the bolts until you find a safe path. And throw the bolts right next to you. If a bolt lands in the distance, the point in the distance may be free of anomalies, but there might be one just 1cm away from you. In the sequels you can have an anomaly detector, which can alert you through beeps. But as usual you'll have to move really, really slowly through these areas

    I'm revisiting the series prior to playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 - thank you very much for putting in so much effort and detail in your video! Totally worth watching the whole thing, and now my game is beautiful on a 1070 GTX and performs great, even with the HD textures. A question I have for you; is there similar modding for Clear Sky and Call of Pripyat? Edit: Nevermind, I saw your reply to another thread where you said it's down to your spare time. If you could please spare a few moments to just list the ones you'd recommend, I'd greatly appreciate it!

      "Modding the STALKER Trilogy for Your First (or Hundredth) Playthrough"
      I do have my own mod list and modifications and my own scripts (such as a completable faction war system in Clear Sky), but yeah... I have very little spare time at the moment :/

    You might want to note that the scope overlays are broken, they're easy to just delete (They're not 16:9). Another thing is that OGSR has horrific fog culling, it's so abrasive and extremely distracting I wouldn't recommend playing the game with OGSR at all

    • @jantijim
      @jantijim 4 месяца назад +1

      Fog culling is annoying because it's more heavy on the center of the screen than the borders. I've just followed the tutorial and you are right, it is extremely distracting. ZRP + Absolute Nature + Absolute Structures + scope fix is another option to play SOC vanilla+.

    My OGSR install has pure ZRP and the optioal folders left intact, and never ran into any trouble. The game engine doesn't really know those folders exists because none of the gamefiles make reference to them. The ZRP config files know they are there, but the game engine doesn't read the zrp files as part of the game. Unless the most recent versions of OGSR itnroduced that behavior, but I fail to see why the developer would.

    My system locale is not in English so I have encountered a problem when I run the script, which can be fixed by adding specifying the encoding in the open file lines like below:
    from
    with open(filename, "r") as current_file:
    to
    with open(filename, "r", encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore") as current_file:
    and other similar methods.
    Let me specify something though do not directly copy paste what I shared. What you should do specifically is to add " , encoding="utf-8", errors="ignore" into the parantheses of lines that start with "with open(filename," because depending on what code does instead of with open(filename, 'r' it could be with open(filename, 'w' or something and replacing that w with r can break the code. Just include what I said inside the parantheses including the comma and the space.

    You deserve Subscribe and like on this video. Even this guide is for experienced players who want to remaster it and have original feeling. Great tutorial. This game has dubbing in my language too so nostalgic because it was not the best dubbing but kinda like it....I really like OG HUD and atmosphere.... Yes there are mods that do remaster kinda... But not like you ... This is essence that I was looking for.... I as modder I wonder... Maybe there is a way to have godrays in night. That moon has big area. In ANOMALY or GAMMA for example it is circle texture smaller one and smaller light zone and less bright. TY for tutorial. And if you do for Clear Sky and COP same that would be amazing.

    Finally got around doing this. There are many mod packs on MODDB that gives a similar experience but there is always something in them that annoys me. I wanted to play vanilla in OGSR because it uses CPU a bit better but it HAD to have ZRP. Most OGSR repacks does not have ZRP. Memories of the Zone was exactly what I wanted... except it uses a VERY old version of OGSR. Now I've got the latest OGSR running with ZRP. Cannot thank you enough!

    Hey, your video was pretty helpful by now, but when i tried opening xrEngine.exe i got an error. And i downloaded the OpenAl, both SDK and installer. My error is 0xc000007b
    Edit: Just to add more info, i followed each step paying the most attention possible. I made each and exact change you did. I have no idea what is causing the error. It doesnt say any file is missing, but just says: "The application could not have inicialied correctly (0xc000007b). Press OK to continue. It will open if i run the default game engine, but will crash when opening options, and just will not open by trying on the OGSR engine.

GSC is a ukrainian company, but the team that created the game we love is multinational (eg, the composer for the soundtrack). I can understand wanting different spoken audio for flavor, but please don't deepen the rift in the community by making it a statement. russian contributors provide much of the work you use in this guide, please be respectful of our common love for this series that was born long before this wedge was driven between us. thanks for the good resources given here

      You have a bias, that's very clear, and I don't blame you. There are no winners in wars, and in a perfect world, we wouldn't have them. But sadly we don't live in a perfect world, and as such, some people don't want to turn on the TV and see death counts, bombings and reports on how fucked up the situation is every single time. Ignorance is bliss as they say, and I believe it's perfectly reasonable for people to say "I don't want to take a side, leave me alone". Yes, even russians. The world is a fucked up place, people deserve the right to not engage with it and not be deemed the bad guys by people like you.

    "Game path" %command%.
